  1. If I was going to use the gloves and handle for both skiing and wakeboarding I would get a 13" Radar Handle which has a really nice soft grip (most of them do we have a few here that are hard though, try before you buy if you can). I wouldn't get the locks for wakeboarding though, too likely to get hung up during a trick or fall, the old 3 finger Radar locks would be awesome if you could find them, however I don't know what to suggest now.
  2. I switched, and Ward switches once in a while, give them a few more tries, and one thing that helped me is to use a smaller handle diamater so that it can sit in the "pocket" a little better. Did you go a size bigger in your Prolocks then your locks though? We both wear large in radar and XL in the Masterline. I don't think you can make a judgement really over just two passes.
  3. Even better then a shock doctor is if you can get your dentist to make you one for a reasonable price, when I played hockey I had the dentist my family had always use make me one and he didn't charge me anything, just $40 for lab fees.
  4. Isn't a mouth guard better at preventing concussions from this type of injury then a helmet? It isn't like the helmet is going to deform and absorb energy when you fall and hit the water, but even with it on your teeth are still going to smash together leading to the concussion...
  5. I know when I was 16 I wouldn't have cared about safety like that, but now a few years later I am wishing I had been more attentive! A little tweak on your knee now in a crash will be a big deal when you are 30 and you will wish you spent the money back in the day.
  6. Prodigies are safe and cheap when someone here has a pair for sale used and would be good for you if you have a size ~10 foot :)

     

    But really if you want to spend the money strada's are WAY more comfortable then the other 4-5 pairs of bindings I have tried and they release very safely.

  7. I would have a HUGE problem with the dealer if they sold me a "demo" ski that had crooked inserts on it, it sounds like they sold it already once and it came back defective and got pawned off on you?

     

    On the other hand, it reallly isnt that hard to put your own inserts in, or make new holes in your plate if they wont resolve it.

  8. I have two pairs of prodigy's for sale. Please note that these boots are SUPER narrow, I wear 10.5 D/E but the 12's hurt me, if you have long narrow feet they will be great though.

     

    Pair 1: Size 11, Brand new in box, they appear to be a later version as they have an extra strap over the arch of the foot to hold the foot down. They have never been wet or on a foot, not sure what to ask for these, going to throw $206+ shipping out there and see what I get. These should fit around a size 9-9.5 mens foot, better if you have a narrower foot.

     

    Pair 2: Size 12, Used for about 50 sets, left foot is still in great shape, however the right foot/rear plate are pretty rough. The rear plate is damaged around where the front right screw goes in, it still works, but there is a crack there. I have been skiing on it like this the whole time. The other thing is that the velcro strap is coming off the boot, it is still working, but it will eventually need to be re sewn onto the boot. Also there is a very thin liner in the shell of the boot that is town on both feet, but I don't think this affects anything. I have made them sound pretty bad here, but I am still skiing on these until Tuesday, they are functional if not pretty. Ill ask $????? for these and see where it goes. These will fit a 9.5-10.5 person, only a 10.5 narrow will fit, Possibly a 11 narrow would work as well, I believe skidawg wore these a few sets and I think he is size 11.

     

    If there is interest I will throw up some pictures.

  9. I talked to O'Brien CS about returning my prodigy binding and getting something else, they said this is fine, and I was thinking about getting the sector binding and RTP for my wife to use? She is just getting into 34 mph running the course. I am guessing these skis are the replacement for the Bio's, were those any good?
